Distributing pieces of knowledge in large, usually distributed
organizations is a central problem in Knowledge and Organization Management.
Policies for distributing knowledge and information are very
often incomplete, or conflict with each other. As a consequence, decision
processes for information distribution may be difficult to formalize on
the basis of a rationally justified procedure.
This paper presents an argumentative approach to cope with the
above problem based on Defeasible Logic Programming, a logic programming
formalism for defeasible argumentation. Conflicts among policies
are solved on the basis of a dialectical analysis whose outcome determines
to which specific users different pieces of knowledge are to be
delivered.
